Self-service and data democratization are at the forefront of many organizations’ digital transformation journey. But how can you ensure that you give users all the data and flexibility they need while maintaining control?

Recent technology development has put increasing power into the hands of ‘citizens’ rather than IT, and the rise of the citizen data engineer has seen increasing numbers of business users taking responsibility for delivering quality data for self-service to their teams. However, there is an element of data and effort duplication, accompanied by a lack of consistency which is creeping in.

In this recorded webcast, Thorogood consultant Raghav Pandey shares his thoughts on some of the key considerations in designing agile and responsive mechanisms with just-enough controls to successfully deliver to self-service needs. He discusses several approaches to self-service depending on the nature of the use cases and where users lie on the skills spectrum, and defines how modern cloud technologies can be leveraged to give you maximum flexibility while maintaining reliability and control.
